Since the majority athletes prefer to change the name, this might not see a lot of opposition.

The proud Scottish heritage has been eliminated...erased really. Pretty sad that faculty and even the students were in favour of this change is worrisome.

I hope the new “improved “ name does not confuse or offend anyone.
